The guy I have really been hoping the Chiefs would pick up in the draft has been Brandin Cooks. IMO he looks a lot like Jackson coming out of college. Incredibly explosive with the ball in his hands. Taking Cooks would be a gamble b/c you never know how someone will play out of college and then you think of other players that could be taken at that spot, a S!!!

The bottom line is we "don't" have the money now. If we could test the desire to win of some of the players currently on our roster we could make some serious upgrades at both WR and S. Sign DJ and draft a WR in the 1st or even dream bigger trade down and still pick up a top flight S and pick up another draft pick would be make a big step towards improving. Right now I feel like we have taken a step back while the "other" team has made a step leap forward.

I really like the idea of DeSean Jackson on the team. It is a good fit. He is the speedy receiver that can stretch the field. Bowe is the intermediate reciever who can use his size and strength to get open. Avery or the new Canadian guy could be our slot reciever to do short crossing routes. I like it. Also, I like how it could give us flexibility in the draft.

I am big on the proposed trade with Tampa idea that was brought up a little while ago. Our first for their 2nd and 3rd.

2nd round - Joel Bitonio - compete for a guard spot or be the revolving player on the line
3rd round - Stanley Jean-Baptiste - He is one of my favorite players in the draft. I think he has good upside and a higher floor in the press system. I would like for him to come in and be opposite of Sean Smith, who I see him to be very similar to. Brandon Flowers could move to FS and be the centerfield player we all want. He has great vision, hard hitter, and smaller than what Sutton probably wants in a corner.
3rd round - CJ Fiedorowicz - We would need to clear cap space for Jackson and I think TE would be a good place. Our guy from Cincy last year could be a pass catching threat and so could this guy from Iowa.
4th round - Jon Halapio - Guard back up/ competition
5th round - Jordan Tripp - Linebacker from Montana who I am really high on. Versatile player who could fill in next to DJ or could come in to rush.
6th round - Keith Wenning - Getting rid of Daniel could free up some cap space as well. Wenning would fill in as third string as Bray takes over the 2nd string spot. I really like Wenning as a developmental qb. Could be a solid long term back up.
6th round - Beau Allen - Big strong NT who could give Poe a break on obvious rushing downs.

I think if the Chiefs don't add Jackson we will look for a WR early and our options in the draft would be impacted. Instead we could go best player throughout.

He would be scary in your O. Part of the reason why we will sign him is to keep him from division rivals. _________________#JihadWard

I say bring Jackson to KC. Money (CAP) seems to be an issue to many of you reguarding signing Jackson but it must not be a problem if KC is showing interest. I think it would make for an interesting season with Jackson in a KC uni opposite Bowe. Who knows, maybe that donkey Manning takes a hit and KC only has to worry about beating Indy/NE in the AFC Championship. When Manning goes down so does the broncos, when Manning has a bad game so does the broncos. Really who thought Seattle would beat Denver like they did let alone even have a chance at winning the big game.. I never seen that coming.. Gotta go with what is known and Andy Reid knows Jackson. The Brandon Cooks and Kelvin Benjamins could very well be the next Jon Baldwin and see where that got us.

I know its not good to stereotype teams, but oakland is reinforcing the idea that they only look at forty times. Desean Jackson to the raiders is almost too good for a hollywood movie._________________Props to LOTO on the sig.

...on the Brandin Cooks comparison...Brandin is much more like Steve Smith than Desean Jackson...which in my opinion is a good thing.

Are u comparing attitudes or skill set?

Cooks isn't as explosive as either player IMO. Which isn't anything wrong, Smith and Jackson are ridiculously explosive.

But Smith is a better comparison, Cooks doesn't give up what I really like about him.

IMO both...Cooks skill set and attitude is similar to Steve Smith. For a small receiver he really attacks the jump ball like Smith, and with his big hands he usually comes down with the tuff catch. He plays with the same ultra competitive chip on his shoulder almost lil man syndrome that Smith does as well. Athletically and Physically I would say they are almost identical from what I see on tape although, Cooks ran a better 40 and had a much better 3 cone drill than Smith did.

I actually think that Cooks is just as if not more explosive than Smith.

If you are looking for a D Jackson clone that would have been Tavon Austin.
